Last night, for one reason or another, a few questions popped into my head that made me think that there are probably a lot of riders out there that just got into BMX might be curious about. What is 4130 chromoly, what is heat-treating and why does BMX use both on so many products? It’s one of those things that a lot of riders know about, but do they actually fully understand what these two things mean and why we utilize them in the industry. So, if you’re curious… Let’s talk a little bit about this!

The Sunday Bikes crew recently spent some time in Minnesota while working on a few projects. During their stay, Erik Elstran, Jake Seeley, Mark Burnett and Chris Childs made a stop at the infamous 3rd Lair Skatepark in Golden Valley, Minnesota for a session with a bunch of the locals. There was a HUGE turn out and some awesome BMX riding went down. Here’s a quick BMX video we cooked up from some of the footage we caught during the session.

Red Bull – Drew Bezanson: Uncontainable

August 25, 2015

Drew Bezanson is back with another incredible BMX video for Red Bull. This time around he decided to step things up just a few levels. It’s safe to say Drew is Uncontainable!

Wow. Red Bull have released Drew Bezanson‘s new “Uncontainable” video and it’s absolutely insane. Drew and Red Bull took a bunch of containers and turned it into one INSANE ramp setup. Everything in this is on another level and there’s no doubt that Drew is an absolute savage for getting this done. This is one BMX video you NEED to see!

“What happens when the ramps you want to ride are so big they don’t exist? No stranger to testing the boundaries of fear on a BMX bike, Canadian rider Drew Bezanson has literally climbed the rafters at contests just to drop in higher than anyone else. Eventually, he reached the point where no current ramp set-up was high enough or big enough to push himself on. Enter Uncontainable, a custom-built set-up made of enormous shipping containers. At a secret location near his hometown of Truro, Nova Scotia, Drew worked tirelessly with a team of renowned ramp builders, led by Nate Wessel, to put together some of the biggest BMX obstacles ever ridden. Needless to say, Bezanson has gone mental. Feast your eyes on some of the gnarliest BMX riding like never seen before.” – Red Bull

Insight: Proper Bike Co. – Select Hub Guards

August 20, 2015

With the ever growing popularity of grinding and finding a way to grind smoother, further and all around better, we’ve seen a lot of innovation from pegs to hub guards over the years. We’ve gone from heavy oversized pegs to titanium, aluminum and plastic pegs and we have seen hub guards in multiple variations as well from guards you zip tie on to designs that snap into place or slide on replacing the existing hardware. However, there’s still room for some innovation. The guys over at Proper Bike Co. have been busy working on their new range of products that have just recently been released worldwide through BMX shops and mail-orders. One of the items in particular we thought was pretty interesting are their new Select hub guards that use a slightly different design than other options on the market.
